Premiere! Tom Kline - 'Guns & Dolls' Film Clip

On the surface, the debut single from Tom Kline seems like a pretty upbeat piano pop tune, but at its heart 'Guns & Dolls' has a tragic and sad story. Here's what Tom's said about the song:

"'Guns and Dolls' was written as a reaction to an incident involving my older brother. Completely unprovoked, he was king hit by a stranger while walking down a Melbourne street and was hospitalized with a fractured skull and swelling on the brain.

"Written from the perspective of the attacker, 'Guns and Dolls' explores themes of nihilism and nature versus nurture. What was the motivation for him to randomly assault another? Did he have a rough upbringing? A bad day? Or is he inherently evil? What would you do if you had no sense of future? No sense of consequence?"

Now that you know the backstory, check out the video to the great new song from Tom Kline, 'Guns & Dolls'.
